Grykat e Hapëta

Grykat e Hapëta is a massif in the Albanian Alps, part of the Zhaborret mountain range, within the limits of Tropojë municipality. Its highest peak, Maja e Grykës së Hapët, reaches a height of 2625 m, making it the highest peak in the range.

Naming
The summit is named Maja e Madhe by the inhabitants of Valbona, whereas the inhabitants of the Curraj call it Maja e Lugbatit. These have been both documented by the Albanian mountaineer Aleksandër Bojaxhi during his expeditions to the area between 1962-1979. The newer name appearing on maps is a more recent innovation.

Geology
The peak lies between the upper part of the Valbona Valley in the north and the Nikaj Valley in the south, continuing with the ridges of Zhaborre from the west and the pass of Droçë in the southeast, which separates it from Mali i Hekurave. Composed primarily of Triassic limestone and dolomite, it has the shape of a conical trunk with very steep slopes, forming cliffs 700-800 m deep. Around its core rise four other peaks at a height of over 2400 m. Grykat e Hapëta are mostly devoid of vegetation.
